I hate to be the bearer of bad news, friend. But last night, we fell short of our critical mid-month fundraising goal. 

Now, I have to make the difficult decision to lower our overall fundraising goal for the month. 

I won't sugarcoat this – if we keep needing to lower our fundraising goals, we'll be in danger of turning Colorado over to a Republican governor. 

It's now more important than ever that we don't fall short. So please, will you help me make up this fundraising gap by chipping in $5 right away?

As soon as the ball drops on New Year's Eve, we close the books for 2025 and hand them over to the Secretary of State.

Once our numbers go public, everyone with skin in the game will look to see if we have the resources and grassroots momentum to hit the ground running in the new year – or, if we'll be on the back foot entering the 2026 election cycle.

When it comes to winning races, perception is reality. That's why it's crucial that we project strength out of the gate. But proving it requires hitting every single goal on time.

With such a small gap, we just need one last push to cross the finish line. So if you're able, please rush $5 so we don't fall short again.

Thank you in advance for your help with this – and just for being a part of this grassroots team.

Michael
